Cyber Relationship... Chances To Work

So many people get into the so called "Cyber Relationship". Some are serious and some are not. There is a certain point in time where we get hooked talking to someone online, a complete stranger, yet we feel so beautiful, belonged, undestood, accepted, and loved. But whether it is serious or not, somehow, there is an element of attraction surrounding it. But what is really the chance for a net relationship to work out? I have so many friends whom I can relate with when it comes to cyber relationship. I had been a chatroom administrator in one Filipino website and I've seen how people fall in-love and get hurt in the net. Online, those forbidden love becomes acceptable, multi-partnership becomes easily manageable, and even age and gender factors are bypassed. One time, I saw a lady crying in pain in the chatroom expressing her frustrations about the personal meeting with the man whom he had fallen in-loved with so deeply in the net. I asked her "Why are you upset? Isn't it nice to finally spend time with him for real after the long period of waiting?", then she replied, "Why not? The person I had fallen in-loved with online through all these time and the person I've personally met days ago are just so different. He doesn't smells good, he have a disgusting finger movement mannerism, and his feet looks awful!" Well, true indeed. How would we know the complete package without seeing it by our naked eye right next in front of us. Yet, we still get hooked... and fall in-love in the net even prior to seeing the complete package of the person we had fallen in-love with. To be fair, I have few friends too who initially met their spouses through the net. Only that, I guess the ratio of successful cyber relationship to work out for real among so many lovers online is 1 per 100. What do you think? ;)

i can relate to this personally. i had chatted with several friends in the past and i just can't find what i am looking for in a person. there is this one guy whom i became closer but i always entertain a lot of "what ifs" and have several hesitations about the relationship. true enough, i later discovered that he is chatting with and seeing a lot of girls in their area and was even able to chat with one of them who confirmed the matter. i feel he is not serious with me and i don't want to be entangled with somebody whom i cannot trust and who is not honest. it is difficult with a long distance relationship. from then on, i stopped chatting and found myself in mylot, ... and now earning!

Hi annegigz, I'm a type of person who still conventional and like to meet a person eye to eye and tend not to believe a person's appearance or behavior on the internet. You can pretend to be as nice as as you can (or the complete opposite) in the internet while in real life you are 180 degrees different. Only some cases are exceptional, most of this net relationship usually do not succesful or turned out to be disastrous
